Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office

The Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office has notified the U.S. Secret Service after two cases of counterfeit money were reported Wednesday afternoon.

In one case, a woman was attempting to use the self check-out at the Ingles grocery store at 2375 Chesnee Highway. The machine would not accept some bills and the woman notified employees, according to an incident report. The bills were marked and came up counterfeit, the report states.

The woman said she got the money from her son who said he got the bills earlier this week as change from the Walmart in Boiling Springs.

In another report filed the same day, the owner of the McDonalds at 1917 Boiling Springs Road came to the sheriff’s office with four bogus $20 bills received at the drive-thru window around 3 p.m. Wednesday, according to a separate report.

A suspect was named, but has not been arrested, according to online jail records.
